Couple to get married immediately after Boston Marathon

[The Straight Story]

You've heard of running to the alter, but one couple from Dallas is taking that literally.

They're running the Boston Marathon, and then will get married, all on the same day.

Kerri Johnston and Robert Watling have gone to many places, all while running. Their first date was a 5K.

When it came time for this Dallas couple to get engaged, Robert came up with the perfect proposal, right after they both ran the Chicago Marathon.

“He actually had the ring with him at the race, but, finished about 30 minutes before,” said Kerri.

2. I know. I was thinking more along the lines that I hope they are both OK

There are rumors on twitter she was injured/killed but I think it is just that, rumors.

3. I don't think any of those killed were runners. The attacks were on the crowd.

Of course there are three people who did die, so those are three tragedies enough. But it's unlikely that someone just finishing a marathon would just be hanging out in the crowd. It's nice to think that there's something beautiful planned for this ugly day, even if it gets delayed a week or so.

Thank you for posting this.

4. I think the victims are an older woman and an eight year old child, thus far...

Why do people do that kind of shit?
